CLIENTS
Who we work with +
You may be an individual taxpayer, but you’re not alone with Halo Tax + Accounting.
We specialise in making tax and accounting simple, and tailored to you.
We help you by:
- ensuring we truly understand your circumstances and financial goals
- securing all the offsets, deductions and returns you’re entitled to
- sharing our tips to boost your wealth
- alleviating money fears or worries, with valuable and friendly advice
Supporting your relationship with money
Whether you’re totally organised with your finances, or allergic to anything ‘numbers’, it’s all ok. We support you all the way.
Any question you have is welcomed and answered respectfully and thoroughly, in plain English.
(We think the only stupid questions are the ones left un-asked!)
We’ve got your back. Let’s get started.
You’re the entrepreneur, the small business owner, the ‘always-on’ driver of your empire.
You are aware that today’s hard work and smart thinking can lead to big future gains.
While you live and breathe your business, we run alongside you to manage your accounts and tax obligations.
Sole trader opportunities
We’re across the latest small business and sole trader government schemes and tax concessions – and we love pairing your business with the most appropriate and advantageous ones.
Flexible – ready when you are
You’re not a 9-5er, so we work around your schedule with flexible appointment times and virtual meetings. Keep on doing what you do best, uninterrupted by the accounts, and reporting.
Leave that all to us.
Your business was created to generate wealth and satisfy goals – it was built to succeed. You want an accounting firm that has the experience, knowledge, and initiative to take you and your business forward.
Our unique approach combines accounting, business advisory, corporate secretarial, and tax compliance to help you achieve the best possible results.
We help your company / partnerships:
- navigate the accounting and tax responsibilities of your business
- approach your business decisions wisely
- make the most of opportunities
- avoid risks and
- optimise returns
The responsibilities of a Trustee can be complex.
It’s important to understand the legal structures around your Trust to ensure:
- the assets are protected from loss
- Trust income is managed well, and
- you are protected from legal ramifications
Trusts and Tax
Trusts can be advantageous from a tax perspective, particularly for income from business activities, investments, and capital gains. Having an expert accountant on your team who knows the ‘ins and outs’ of this structure is critical to the security and sustainability of your Trust.
Our highly qualified accountants have a wealth of experience and knowledge in setup and management of:
- Discretionary (Family) Trusts
- Unit Trusts
- Hybrid Trusts
We can guide you through the complexity.
If you manage a SMSF and would like the peace of mind that sound advice brings, let us manage it with you. We provide a host of SMSF accounting services, such as:
- Administration of SMSFs
- Superannuation advice and planning

What our clients say.
“Greg finds your money”
I highly recommend going to see Greg! He’s incredibly helpful and friendly, does quick work, and finds your money.
– Lizzie Strobel
“Thanks so much for the great advice!”
I cannot recommend Prime Tax Experts and Greg enough. I’m in Sydney on a WHV and needed to get my taxes done before I left the country. Greg had me in and out in 30 minutes with just about half of all my taxes back in my pocket! Thanks so much for the great advice!
– Nick from Canada
“Greg can answer anything.”
I did my tax return with Greg and he was really helpful! I had some complicated questions but he was able to answer everything, and made it a great experience.
– Meghan Walsh

MAcc PGDipMgt MIPA
I created Halo Tax + Accounting as a way to use my passion for accounting to help as many people and businesses as I can.
What distinguishes me from your typical accountant is my breadth of experience in both large and small businesses. From owning finance companies, retail stores, hairdressing salons and a laundromat to having held senior management positions in large companies both here and overseas.
I look out for my clients and thrive on finding out the methods and strategies that help them live life peacefully, happy and positive about their future.
I’m building Halo to have a great work culture, with an agile and clever team – a place where I and all staff can work in our zone of genius, so you can reap the rewards. Then we’re all happy.
Managing your accounting needs and the smooth running of your business needn’t be difficult, tedious, overwhelming or scary.
Leave it all with Halo, go do what you do best, and know we’re here if you need us.
